Nurse Practitioners

Zoe Taylor (f)

We are please to announce that Zoe Taylor joins the practice on Tuesday 8th January as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner or ACP.

Advanced clinical practitioners come from a range of professional backgrounds such as nursing, pharmacy, paramedics and occupational therapy. They are healthcare professionals educated to Masters level in and have developed the skills and knowledge to allow them to take on expanded roles and scope of practice caring for patients.

Advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) enhance capacity and capability within multi-professional teams by supporting existing and more established roles. They help to improve clinical continuity, provide more patient-focused care, enhance the multi-professional team and help to provide safe, accessible and high quality care for patients.

Zoe enhances the practice's skill mix seeing patients with everyday health concerns allowing the doctors in the practice to focus on patients with more complex needs.

Zoe is also a qualified Child Health Visitor and as such is able to carry out six week baby checks along with our doctors at the practice.

Garrick Wheatley (m)

We have a new Advanced Nurse Practitioner joining the team in mid march. Garrick has a special interest in diabetes and can also diagnose, treat and prescribe medication when required.

Practice Management

Margaret Rathore

Patient Services Manager

Castle meadows surgery now has a unique service to improve access for patients to general practice services and help with nursing and care needs whilst giving patients the continuity of care by dealing with one named individual at the practice.

If you need to know how to get test results, need to know what’s happened to your referral or you want to know how to get a wheelchair this is the person you would contact at the surgery. These are just examples, but by having a named individual you can contact you can be assured that your problem will be dealt with and you can turn to the same individual along the way to find out how your problem is being resolved.

The Patient Services Manager also acts as care co-ordinator for the most frail patients with complex needs. For each such patient a care plan is devised by a GP lead at the practice in conjunction with the patient and/or their carers. The management of that plan is co-ordinated by the Patient Services Manager.
